We renamed the program from Phonemic Intelligence^tm Intelligent Thinking^tm Training and Coaching to “Awaken Your Genius”. This course IS designed to awaken your genius, the intelligence you have tucked away deep inside your brain. We all are geniuses and through this course we will start to free ourselves of limitations and discover our unique genius through the regular practice of Phonemic Intelligence^tm.

COACHING VIDEO

 1: Why Do I Need a Better Brain?

In Why Do I Need a Better Brain, we learned:

– We need a better brain so we can succeed in life.

-We think 35 – 60 thoughts per minute.

– Most of these thoughts are anxiety driven thoughts.  Worries, concerns and overall not helpful to success.

-We can be more successful if we have less thoughts.

-Intelligent Thinking will reduce our anxiety and the number of thoughts we think.

Neuroscience learning:

-In this session we learned that thoughts travel in neuron networks. Thought trains that we have repeatedly been thinking will travel on a “super highway” neuronal pathway.

-New thought pathways travel on new neuronal connections.

-The quality of the neuron and the power of the thought will determine a successful connection.

TRAINING VIDEOS AND MATERIALS

In the human brain, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a “collar” surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. 

It is involved in certain higher-level functions, such as

– attention allocation,

– reward anticipation, 

– decision-making,

– ethics and morality,

– impulse control (e.g. performance monitoring and error detection),

–emotion such as empathy and compassion

PRACTICE

1. Date your entry

You think you will remember when it happened, but without a written date, you might forget.

2. Tell the truth

The journal is a record of how you felt and what you did.

3. Write down details

Record details like the time, location, who you were with, what you were wearing. Details will help bring the memory alive when you record using your five senses.

4. Write down what you felt

What you were thinking? Were you mad? Sad? Happy? Write down why.

5. Write a lot or a little

A journal entry doesn’t have to be three pages long. It can be a few words that describe what happened, a few sentences about the highlight of your day, or it can be a short description of an event from your day, where you describe details to help you remember what happened. Like, what time of day was it? It is your journal, and you have the freedom to be creative.

When to Journal

There is no right or wrong time to write in a journal. Write when you will remember to do it. Do you always brush your teeth before you go to bed? Have writing in your journal be part of your bedtime routine. Perhaps put it on your bedside table, or beside your hammock, or on the floor beside your futon.
